hanjang 's review for:
The Woman I Kept to Myself
by Julia Alvarez
I prefer prose to poetry, but this collection was short and very accessible, so I gave it a shot. A few of the poems threw me off with their unpleasant (pretentious, whining, borderline ridiculous, etc.) tone, but I found many more to be thoughtful or touching.
